Yes, especially since we are fully compliant with CCPA, and GDPR. I can push one button and have all of your data deleted if you so wish.
This is the core point you’re missing. People here are talking about the industry as a whole. Not your ethical internet ad firm or you yourself.
The industry. Not you or your situation.
I’ve worked at a “marketing analytics solutions” company before (shudders at the memory).
I had access (was a data processor) to 60 million UK people’s info on their mortgage, email address, age, marital status, car make/model, likely holiday destinations... etc etc.
What we did with the data doesn’t matter. The fact it does is exist and is hidden from the customers view is the problem.
